At least two people were killed and several injured in Russian attacks on Ukraine overnight, according to the Guardian, prompting President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to call for greater action from Kyiv’s allies.
Zelenskyy said “there has been too little response from the international community to these strikes,” urging partners to respond more forcefully following the latest wave of attacks.
A strike on the Starokozache border crossing with Moldova killed two people and injured three, the Guardian reported, with 16 people evacuated from the area.
In Kyiv, four people were injured after a Russian drone struck an apartment building. Additional strikes were reported across several Ukrainian cities.
The Guardian said further attacks hit Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Zhytomyr, underscoring the geographic spread of the overnight assault.
Zelenskyy’s remarks reflect continued pressure from Ukraine on its international partners to increase support and take firmer measures in response to Russia’s ongoing campaign of strikes.
Why it matters
The overnight attacks and Zelenskyy's criticism highlight ongoing civilian casualties in Ukraine and continued frustration in Kyiv over the level of international support. The strike near the Moldova border also points to the wider regional stakes of the conflict.
